One of the hardest things about searching for a job that allows you to work from home is knowing if it is a real job or some slimy scam or lousy MLM 'opportunity'.
One of the first things to note is that no 'real' job will ever ask you for money, period! You might have to go through some unpaid training but when you see anything asking for a 'fee' even if they say it is refundable or for required software--run away!
There are Internet sites set up to help those looking for work-from-home opportunities but many of these are scams themselves. Even if a site is legitimate they can't be responsible for checking out all the job offers so you will need to take that upon your own shoulders.
Just this morning I came across this site, West at Home, who hire At Home Agents to handle their call center projects. The parent company is West Telemarketing and when you find a company like this that looks professional, offers tons of information, and clearly lists their company name, address, and phone number you can be pretty sure it is legit.
This company offers IVR solutions, customer care and acquistion support and more. They even won the 2004 Inter@ction Solutions Magazine's "Product of the Year" award. Sounds pretty nifty eh? In just a quick review of their requirements it looks like you can average about $10 per hour and just need a phone line and PC with DSL or cable Internet access, sorry no modems.
Watch this blog as I put myself through the screening and training process. Follow along with me and we might just find this is a viable solution for those of you still searching for a work-from-home position!
